Snow Shoveling Safety Tips
When it comes to shoveling snow there is a physical factor as it takes a lot of energy and strength to clear snow. Warming up your muscles is a great way to start before even going outside. This can be through light movements, stretches, walking on the spot, etc. Pushing the snow is a great way to start. Remember to ensure you are pushing small amounts of snow at a time. The further you go the heavier it’s going to get. Limit the distance you cover with each push & let the shovel do the work.
